How to Make
-
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use a 9x5-inch loaf pan and spray with non-stick spray or line with foil and spray with non-stick spray to get out easily for slicing.
-
Step 2: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl. Set aside.
-
Step 3: In another medium-sized bowl, beat white sugar and butter together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
-
Step 4: Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until blended in; add in vanilla extract.
-
Step 5: Combine & whisk flour and baking powder together in another bowl and add into creamed butter mixture and stir until blended.
-
Step 6: Mix milk into batter until smooth.
-
Step 7: Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan; add half the chopped apple mixture.
-
Step 8: Sprinkle 1/2 of the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture you set aside earlier, on top of apple layer.
-
Step 9: Pour the remaining batter over apple layer and top with remaining chopped apples, then the remaining brown sugar/cinnamon mixture.
-
Step 10: Lightly pat apples into batter; swirl brown sugar mixture through apples using knife or spoon.
-
Step 11: Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, approximately 50-60 minutes.
-
Step 12: To make glaze, mix powdered sugar and cream together until well mixed.
-
Step 13: Let cool for about 15 minutes before drizzling with glaze.
Tips & Variations
- Next time I think I would add in walnuts. You can always use other fruit, or you could add in chocolate chips too! (Of course!)
- Substitutions: I've also substituted this with 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt, 1/3 cup milk and add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda instead of 1/2 cup milk as called out in the bread loaf ingredients.
- Bake 30-40 min. for 2 loaf recipe, 15-20 minutes for muffins or 50 -60 minutes for one full loaf recipe or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
